But it makes sense to me. There are doubtlessly fears rising of a new world order. But I think to manipulate something like that from the shadows and not be exposed for your efforts is very difficult in this day and age. I don't doubt that it hasn't been tried before or won't be tried again but I don't think there is anyone with the patience or capital for subterfuge of that magnitude. People of that breed tend to throw hissies when things don't go their way.

One thing that always bothered me about mass effect: Why is letting the council die considered a bad thing?

There incompetent, lazy,refuse to acknowledge any sort of threat as dangerous, treat everyone else like shit and almost doomed the entire galaxy to extinction through their actions despite warnings to the contrary.

Hell, letting them die saved far more lives than saving them and allowed the citadel to still contain a sizeable fleet to defend itself.

Because humanity snatches control of the council when the new council is formed, and other races view this as opportunistic. Some races will actually believe in ME2 that Shepard allowed the council to die for the reason of allowing Humans to take control in the inevitable power vacuum.
